PASADENA, Calif.—Residents here (and lucky visitors) will have a chance, on Sept. 12, to see a Bruce Nauman artwork in action. The artist, who earlier this summer won a Golden Lion at this year's Venice Biennale, is planning a project called Untitled (Leave the Land Alone), 1969/2009, for which the words "Leave the Land Alone" will be written in the sky over the city. The project coincides with a Nauman exhibition at Pasadena's Armory Center for the Arts, "Installations Inside/Out," which is on view Sept. 20 to Dec. 31, and is the artist's first solo institutional project in the L.A. area since 1994, according to the center.
